Abstract

We developed a green and efficient method for Pd-catalyzed N-arylation of ortho-acylanilines in water using rhamnolipid-based micellar catalysis. The (cinnamylPdCl)2/tBuXPhos system enables high yields at 40°C, significantly lower than conventional methods (>100°C), with broad substrate scope. This industrially produced biodegradable surfactant system offers a sustainable alternative to organic solvents, combining enhanced reactivity with improved energy efficiency and environmental compatibility.
